Article of the Week

                 This week I chose an article titled, "Wife Crashes her own funeral, horrifying her husband, who paid to have her killed." In this week's article, Writer Sarah Kaplan, of the "Washington Post," shares that a woman sat in her car, outside of her home in Melbourne, Australia, watching mourners leave from her funeral when she confronted her husband. The woman says that when her husband saw her, he thought that she was a ghost. After he realized that she had not been killed, but was still alive, Noela Rokunda, his wife, called for the authorities to take her husband away. The husband confessed that he paid individuals to kill his wife and he was sentenced to 9 years in prison for attempted murder. Rokunda says that her husband tried to kill her because he thought she was leaving him for another man. She admits that she knew her husband was violent, but she never thought he would kill her. The men that were paid to kill Rokunda said that they did not kill woman and children and sent her on her way after they were paid by her husband. She says that she will find a new place to live and eventually marry again. I chose this article because it brings up a serious matter that no one is really safe in the world that we live in. The only question that I have is, were the men who were paid to kill his wife arrested also? In the article it only shares that the husband was arrested for his wrong doing. This article also shows that criminals of today do not receive the sentences that they deserve. This man paid money for his wife to be killed because he thought she would leave him. He was only thinking about himself, and not the lives of others. This article is a good example of showing that you can never get away with wrong doing. The law will catch up with you sooner or later.
